Being Jake

Here I am just being silly at Grandma & Grandpa's.

I have jelly on my face from breakfast.

Planting a Car Tree

At Grandma & Papa's I decided I was going to bury one of my race cars. When grandma asked me what I was doing I told her I was planting a car tree. So she got me a spade & a watering bucket & I went to work planting my car tree. It was a lot of fun & I can't wait to show you what happened when we went back up there about a month later.
Stay tuned.

Getting the dirt ready.


Aren't I a cute Gardner?
Do not mention the plumber's crack.
My pants don't fit as well since I changed
from a diaper to big boy underwear.

I am ready for some water.
It needs water, sunshine & love to grow.

Computer time

Ways to keep myself occupied. I love Noggin & Playhouse Disney. Don't you think the headphones are a nice touch? I can be interupted only occasionally to talk on the phone to mom & dad.
Love,
Jake

Heading to Paso Robles - No Parents

Dad & Mom were going to be heading to the races in Charlotte that weekend so I was going to be hanging out with Grandma & Papa. We (Gma, papa, nitro & me) were going to be heading to their house today so I had to tell mom & dad good by & prepare for the trip (well mom did that for me).

Looking away just as the picture was snapped.
Dad looks good though.

Giving dad a final hug.
Dad & I have a thing we do.
We head butt each other.
Here we are getting ready.

After we laugh & say ouch.
Mom says we can't do that to anyone else.
Mom gave me some snacks to take along.

Isn't she the greatest.

Grandpa's Birthday

Grandma & Papa & Nitro stopped by on Sunday to spend the night & prepare to take me home for a week. Sunday was Papa's birthday. I would tell you how old he was but I can't count that high yet. I got him a scrapbook album that you put pictures in. Mom is in charge of that & she didn't get it finished before we had to give it to him. Papa the pictures are coming, trust me.
Have a great one,
Jake

September at the Fair

We went to the Los Angeles County Fair (in Pomona where they hold the races) on Friday after the little gym. It was the first day of the fair & we went on the wrong day in terms of weather. It was HOT! Mom & dad rented me this cool wagon with an umbrella to haul me around & we had a great time checking out all the animals. Although we didn't stay to long, I still had a great time.
Love,
Jake
